Sunday Downtime - All Evolve Media Sites are being migrated to a new data center Sunday Dec 11, 2016. The migration will occur during an 8 AM to 2 PM (Pacific Time) maintenance window. We will have up to 1 hour of downtime for any of our sites.

the more it is discussed on the trades forum the more i like klefbom for laughton... Flyers fans feel it is fair and they have the c depth to make it happen (giroux schenn couturier)... They need a young ld though

klefbom meanwhile is our one bluechip d prospect sure but he is ld and probably does not begin to touch his potential before three years from now... Laughton could be a 3c next year with potential for much more

this also gives us more options with our pick... We could trade it for help today... Especially on the blueline... Say hemsky + edm 1st for yandle + moss

While I won't deny that Laughton could potentially bring us something we need pretty badly on our lineup, which is bottom 6 depth, I think what Klefbom brings, which is a dman with greater potential than anyone, with the possible exception of JSchultz, we have on our current roster or in our system, is even more valuable to us.

I am not sure how a ten minute a night third pairing rookie D will help us win games... but okay whatever you say...

And throwing a rookie out to play against other team's top lines will?

compliance buyouts are for players that have a salary or 3mil plus so players like eager, belanger and smyth don`t apply

If my memory serves me correct, the 3 mil floor was only for the advanced but outs for Gomez, Redden and anyone else being bough out before the summer. Once the season is over the 3 mil floor evaporates and you can buy out anyone.

It seem more and more like this board values klefbom almost as much as the other big 5. This is fine because guys like ganger,Pajarrvi and maybe Hemsky should be able to bring in some other needs. I would really like to go after some of the RFA players the blues have and just keep offering up one after the other till you snag one. It also seems like lucid could potentially be had for a realistic price and I would love to inquire abut he services.

So you are saying they would have an equal impact... interesting... so it's an even trade then???

on one hand, you have a rookie dman, who's shown he can play against men, playing sheltered minutes on the bottom pairing and the other, you have a guy coming straight out of juniors to play our toughest minutes... How is that the same? Especially when we're giving up the better player

Clowe would be an amazing addition to this team. He is going to want some coin but what he would bring isn't replicated in our top 6 in any way and is exactly what we need. Having a down year this year will also allow us to sign him slightly cheaper. This guy is a beast in the playoffs and is a great player.

Pretty sure the the Oilers have identified
Hall-Ebs-RNH-Yak-Justin-Klefbom as the future core players that would need a huge overpay to pry from this organization
Gagner-MPS-Smid-Petry-Nick-Lander-Harti as the players available for upgrades if the right offer came along

Hemsky -Horc - Belanger as players to be moved

Would not be surprised to see a Hemsky , Nick, 2014 1st deal for a #1 type dman/or top 6 PF

You aren't getting a good portion of those names regardless, but I wouldn't be happy if we have to part with Eberle or Yak.

So you are to say, that if the Sens really wanted Eberle and were willing to offer Karlsson for Eberle and Klefbom, you'd say no? I for one would welcome that trade and that's nothing against Eberle or Klefbom - it's acquiring someone that fills a major hole and makes us a significantly better team. Preferably we don't have to deal anyone good, but chances are that if we don't, we're not getting anything good back.

Kind of stupid to even think about or speculate on, because Ottawa isn't trading Karlsson.
